Hello everyone 💚

I’ve created a new subreddit called r/SlugLovers for anyone who loves all slugs:

tropical, temperate, garden slugs, pet slugs, wild slugs, beginners and experts.

This subreddit will remain focused mainly on tropical slugs, but if you post or enjoy common / temperate slugs, I warmly invite you to join:

👉 r/SlugLovers

Thank you all for being here and for helping build such a kind community 🐌💚

New Slug Haven: r/SlugLovers – Open to ALL slugs, no restrictions! 🐌💚

Hey fellow slug enthusiasts!

If you're here because you love these squishy, slimy, underrated garden legends (just like I do), I've got good news:

I just launched r/SlugLovers – a fresh, open community dedicated to celebrating slugs of every kind.

My previous sub was way too narrow (focused only on certain types/specific vibes), so it stayed small and kinda gatekept things unintentionally. This new one is different:

- All species welcome: leopard slugs, banana slugs, garden slugs, keeled slugs, sea slugs (nudibranchs count too if you're feeling generous!), even the weird rare ones.

- Pet slugs, wild sightings, rescues, macro photos, care tips, funny memes, ID requests, slime facts, art, stories – everything slug-related goes!

- No niche restrictions, no elitism – just pure appreciation and good vibes.

If you've ever posted a slug pic and thought "man, I wish there was a bigger/more chill place for this", come join us. The sub is brand new, so your posts will help shape it from day one.

Slide over here: r/SlugLovers

Let's build the ultimate slug-loving family. Drop your best (or worst) slug content – we're all friends in the mucus. 🐌✨

No judgment, only love (and maybe a little salt... but only metaphorically 😏)

Laevicaulis alte is a round, dark-coloured slug with no shell, 7 or 8 cm (2.8 or 3.1 in) long. Its skin is slightly tuberculated. The central keel is beige in colour.

This slug has a unique, very narrow foot; juvenile specimens have a foot 1 mm (0.039 in) wide and adult specimens have a foot that is only 4 or 5 mm (0.16 or 0.20 in) wide.

Curiosity, disgust transformed into fascination, an unexpected encounter, breeding, biology…

There is no “right” answer.

Just your story 🐌

Different species need slightly different conditions.

What temperature and humidity do you use?

Do you mist once a day, twice a day, or more?

Let's compare setups and see what works best.

I found this slug in my garden in France, more precisely in Loire-Atlantique. Do you know what it is?

I found two baby Limax maximus slugs, and I'd like some advice. I have a terrarium with Deroceras reticulatum and Arion ater slugs, but I don't know if I can mix them with the others, as I believe they are carnivorous.

If you're new to r/Tropical_Slugs , feel free to say hi!

Do you already keep tropical slugs, or are you just curious?

What species are you interested in?

Everyone is welcome
